The Thermo Fisher Scientific MXR XRF Spectrometer is an X-ray fluorescence instrument. The Scientific MXR XRF supports 8-inch wafers. The Scientific MXR XRF requires 60 Hz, single phase, 120 Vac power.[1][2]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedX-ray fluorescence instruments are used to examine elemental composition by analyzing the characteristic X-rays emitted from a specimen after excitation. Instruments of this class are commonly used as noncontact metrology tools in semiconductor and precision-manufacturing environments.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn X-ray fluorescence instrument directs X-rays at a sample and measures the emitted fluorescence from excited atoms. The measured emission pattern is used to infer the elements present in the material and, in many applications, the relative amount of each detected element.
X-ray fluorescence instruments for wafer work are generally placed in a metrology or inspection flow rather than in a primary transformation step. The class is used after relevant process steps when composition, contamination, or film-related checks are needed.
Where it fits in the process flow
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedX-ray fluorescence instruments are used for elemental analysis on wafers, films, coatings, and other manufactured surfaces. The class is used when a process needs noncontact composition checking.
